[F1Determination of mode of inquiry in a coronavirus periodE+W

58B.(1) This rule applies during a coronavirus period.

(2) Where a charge has been referred to an adjudicator under rule 58A or rule 63(3)(b) and the Senior District Judge (Chief Magistrate) considers that because of the effects of coronavirus it is not reasonably practicable for the charge to be—

(a)first inquired into by an adjudicator in accordance with rule 58(3)(b) or rule 58A(3); or

(b)continued to be inquired into by an adjudicator,

the Senior District Judge (Chief Magistrate) may refer the charge back to the governor as soon as possible for the governor to inquire into it.

(3) A charge referred back to the governor under paragraph (2) shall be first inquired into by the governor not later, save in exceptional circumstances, than 14 days after the Senior District Judge (Chief Magistrate) referred the charge back.

(4) A charge inquired into by the governor under paragraph (2) is not to be treated as one being inquired into by an adjudicator, and accordingly the governor cannot impose a punishment under rule 60A (adjudicator's punishments).

(5) This rule applies to an inmate who has been charged with having committed an offence against discipline and referred to an adjudication under rule 58A or 63(3)(b) before the date on which the rule came into force in the same way as it applies to an inmate who has been charged with having committed an offence against discipline on or after that date.]
